AFRICAN PAGANISM | |
|
We will hang out with Anansi | I will visit with Nyame |
He's the spider god we fancy | The Ashanti god of all, hey |
And he wears eight legged pants, He's | I will bring him a salami |
got enough legs there for me! | And we'll both sit down to tea! |
|
AGNOSTICS AND ATHEISTS | |
|
Lots of folks are into God | Let us praise God for creation |
And I've often thought it odd | And he made more than one nation |
Do they love Him for His bod'? | Let's give Him a big ovation, |
Or is it ideology? | And then tell Him "Let us be!" |
|
I don't care about Jehover | It's the Fundie Right's solution |
Soon his office term is over | To put Christian absolution |
I would sooner worship Rover | In the U.S. Constitution |
'Cause he's good enough for me! | And that don't sit well with me! |
|
I won't go into no temple | I shall stay a firm agnostic |
Not for Graham nor Miss Semple | I can't do a double-crostic |
No, not even for a "semple" | I'm a fan of Barry Bostwick |
It ain't good enough for me! | And that's good enough for me! |
|
If you think religion's awful | But the True Religion's Science |
And you've really had your craw full | Where we place our great reliance |
Just be sure your acts are lawful | 'Cause it's laws don't take defiance |
Or they'll -all- be after thee! | So it's good enough for me! |
|
We will go and worship Jesus | We give thanks to Jerry Falwell |
Yes we will, when Hades freezes | If his Crusade we can't stall, well, |
He is full of guilt and fleases | Ship him one-way to Rabaul - well! |
Which ain't good enough for me! | that's not far enough for me! |
|
Are you waiting for the Rapture? | Whene'er I hear Jerry Falwell |
Superstition's got you captured! | Quite soon I don't feel at all well |
You believe a lot of crap, sure | Throw him down a sacrificial well |
Isn't good enough for me! | That'll be good enough for me! |
|
There are those who worship no gods | Madelyn Murray O'Hare hollers |
For they think that there are low odds | Let's get God from off our dollars |
That the god-seers aren't drunk sods | God is something I can't swaller |
And they're good enough for me! | 'Cause he's got more balls than me! |
|
There are those that sing out "Amen" | Are you waiting for the Rapture? |
To a bastard Jewish shaman | Go on, wait, and see if I care! |
You know who, so I won't name him | I'll go off and take a nap, sure |
But it's good enough for me! | Isn't good enough for me! |
|
Call Him God, or call him Allah | The very first of chiromancers |
The priest will take your dollah | Overdosed on mood-enhancers |
Easy living from -your- follah- | And found his palm had all the answers |
-wers, but sorry, -not- from me! | Which is good enough for me! |
|
You can keep your Old Religion, | Jehovah's fine transcendence |
It's for suckers and for pigeons! | And the Church's great resplendence |
I don't buy it! Not a smidgen! | Pushing guilt and co-dependence |
I'm an atheist, you see! | Ain't good enough for me! |
|
AGNOSTIC/ATHEIST CHORUS: Gimme NO | kind-a religion |
Gimme NO | kind-a religion |
Gimme NO | kind-a religion |
It simply | ain't for me! |
|
|
ASATRU AND ODINISM | |
|
I hear Valkyries a-comin | One-eyed Odin we will follow |
In the air their song is comin | And in fighting we will wallow |
They forgot the words! They're hum | min! Till we wind up in Valhallow |
But they're good enough for me! | Which is good enough for me! |
|
We will drive up to Valhalla | It was good enough for Odin |
Riding Beetles, not Impalas | Though the tremblin' got forbodin' |
Singing "Deutschland Uber Alles" | Then the giants finally strode in, |
And that's good enough for me! | But it's good enough for me! |
|
It was good enough for Loki | Shall we sing a verse for Thor, |
It was good enough for Loki | Though he leaves the maidens sore? |
He thinks Thor's a little hokey | They always come back for more, |
And that's good enough for me! | So he's good enough for me! |
|
Shall we sing in praise of Loki, | It was good for Thor and Odin |
Though he left poor Midgard smokey | It was good for Thor and Odin |
Oh, his sense of humor's hokey, | Grab an axe and get your woad on! |
But he's good enough for me! | and it's good enough for me! |
|
All the Gods tore into Loki | We will worship now with vigor |
Saying Deicide is hokey! | The goddess known as Frigga |
And they threw him in the pokey! | Tho there are some who don't dig her |
And that's good enough for me! | She is good enough for me! |
|
Good old Thor's the god of thunder | If you wanna worship Odin |
Really helps us get our plunder | You don't have to have a coat on |
Tho his head's still truly dunder | Grab a sword and slap some woad on |
He is good enough for me! | And that's good enough for me! |
|
In the halls of Frey and Freya | We will sing a verse for Loki |
All the priestesses will lay ya | He's the old Norse god of Chaos |
If you're good enough, they'll pay ya | Which is why this verse don't |
And that's good enough for me! | rhyme or scan or nothin' |
| But it's good enough for me... |
|
Odin is a mighty thinker | Give a hand to darlin' Freya |
And he is a heavy drinker | There's no need to ask her "May ya?" |
With the girls he likes to tinker | For a necklace she will lay ya! |
So he's good enough for me! | And that's good enough for me! |
|
We will go and worship Loki | We will go to Utgard Castle |
He will tell a dirty jokie | We'll watch Thor and Elli wrassle |
And get locked up in the pokey | Thor will have a lot of hassle |
But that's good enough for me! | But he's god enough for me! |
|
We will go and worship Frigga | It was good enough for Thor 'n' |
And the men will be much bigga | I can hear the thunder roarin' |
And they won't have a hair-trigga | Or maybe it's his snorin'! |
And that's good enough for me! | But it's good enough for me! |
|
Do you know what brought Balder low | We will all go worship Hoenir |
His Achilles heel, mistletoe | Who has ears that hear by sonar |
His systems are no longer "Go" | And a most impressive boner! |
But he's good enough for me! | And that's good enough for me! |
|
We will raise our cups to Bragi | It was good enough for Loki |
And we'll drink until we're groggy | Whose humor was okey-dokey |
And the pretzels get all soggy | He'd laugh and take a tokey |
But that's good enough for me! | And that's good enough for me! |
|
We will ask a boon of Mimir | We will walk upon ol' Bifrost |
With the Northern Lights a-glimmer | Tell ol' Heimdall that we're not lost |
I would not mind being slimmer | Ask Odin what the runes cost |
Which is good enough for me! | And hit Loki with a pie! |
|
|
BRUJA | |
|
Let us sing for Brujaria | We will watch a Bruja giggle |
Though the blood's a lot less cleaner | At a novice witch's wiggle |
It's not Christian Santaria | For you see, a Bruja's giggle |
So it's good enough for me! | Is a Brou-ha-ha to me! |
|
|
BUDDHISM | |
|
We will all go to Nirvana | Oh we all will follow Buddah |
So be sure to mind your manners | Oh we all will follow Buddah |
Make a left turn at Savannah | And we'll eat no food but Gouda |
And we'll see the Promised Land! | Which is Gouda-nuff for me! |
|
It was good enough for Buddha, | We will go and sing "Hosanna" |
As a god he's kinda cute-a, | To our good ol' pal, Gautama, |
And he comes in brass or pewta' | He will never flim or flam ya', |
So he's good enough for me! | And that's good enough for me! |
|
No one wrote a verse for Buddah | We will all go to Nirvana |
Tho I think they really coulda | We will all go to Nirvana |
And I really think they shoulda | Make a left turn at Urbana |
'Cause he's good enough for me! | And you'll see the Promised Land! |
|
We will all follow Buddah | We will venerate the Buddah |
He's one really serene dude-a | Comes in silver, brass and pewta' |
But you have to beg for food-a | He ain't quite the Lion of Judah |
And that's good enough for me! | But he's good enough for me! |
|
We will sing for Yama-Dharma | Maybe I should try ol' Buddah |
At our revels on the farm-a | We can share a little Gouda |
Though it messes up our karma | I hope he won't think it rude-a |
It's good enough for me! | Me to say he's not for me! |
|
I am darn confused by Zen | Clap one hand if you love the Buddha |
It seems way beyond my ken | It will put ya in the mood ta |
Could you say it all again | Set off for Nirvana |
Somewhat clearer so I'll see? | And that's good enough for me! |
|
CARGO CULT & PACIFIC ISLANDS | |
|
To the tune of Handel's "Largo" | If you get too tired |
We will hymn the gods of Cargo | And you need to get up higher |
'Til they slap on an embargo | Just have Pele light your fire! |
And that's good enough for me! | From her island in the sea! |
|
You can keep your saints with halos, | It was good enough for Maui |
Your incense, hymns and aloes: | And for his communion chow he |
Let's throw virgins in volcanos! | Served up poi and long pig - Wowee! |
And that's good enough for me! | And that's good enough for me! |
|
We will go and worship Maui | We will watch the hula dancers |
With that Polynesian zowie | Topless Polynesian prancers |
And he'll give us Maui Wowee! | And we'll get pagan romance, sir |
And that's stoned enough for me! | And go to Easter Island, free! |
|
|
CHRISTIAN | |
|
We will worship with the Fundies | Say the Baptists, "We're the only |
With their itchy hair-shirt undies | We're the one church that's not phony |
If they don't bring "Mrs. Grundy," | If you give us all your money |
Then it's good enough for me! | Then to Heaven you shall go! |
|
It was good for old Jehovah | Let's all listen up to Jesus |
He had a son who was a nova! | He says rich folks like old Croesus |
Hey there, Mithras! Move on ova'! | Will be damned until Hell freezes |
Another resurrection Day! | And that don't sound good to me! |
|
Jerry Falwell thinks he's sav-ed | Oh we'll all be Fundamental |
In a lamb's blood he's been lav-ed | And be Holy Testamental |
And HE thinks that I'M deprav-ed | And never Trancendental |
But that's good enough for me! | And that's good enough for me! |
|
Tho J.C.'s into fish, too, | Anytime that I start hearin' |
He's an avatar of Vishnu | "Jesus loves you" I start leerin' |
So he is welcome here, too, | Maybe so, but not like Brian |
And that's good enough for me! | Which is good enough for me! |
|
Brother Jerry is a cretin | Brother Oral's in his tower, |

|
Brother Robert's church is Crystal | Brother Earnest is a healer |
But all the Bible that he's missed 'll | And not QUITE a wheeler-dealer -- |

|
Brother Jim and Sister Tammy | Then there's good ol' Brother Billy |

Tryin' t'get back on TV! | But he's good enough for me! |
|
That Bob Larson shrieks and hollers | s We will finally pray to Jesus |

And that's good enough for me! | And that's good enough for me! |
|
You could join Jehovah's Witness | And let's not forget Pelagius |

|
Oh the Christians worship Jesus | Oh my name is Torquemada |

|
Whether Low Church or it's High Church | And the Romans said of Jesus |
Or it's Pie-Up-In-The-Sky Church | "Lets kill him, he don't please us" |

'Cause it's good enough for me! | And thats good enough for me |
|
Well you can worship Jesus | It's no good for Billy Graham |
Go ahead and pray to Jesus | 'Cause he just won't give a damn |

Just leave my Gods to me! | But it's good enough for me! |
|
Others followed Rev. Jim Jones | Oh the Christian sects they will clutch |

|
Well I hear your god's named Jesus | Take the Blarney Stone and pitch it |

Let us read works of Confucius | We used to study old Confucius |
As we walk thru Massachusetts | As we sat there on our tushes |
In white robes that freeze our tus | hes We're learning but don't push us |
But it's good enough for me! | And thats good enough for me |
|
|
CTHULHU | |
|
We will worship mighty Cthulhu | We will worship Great Cthulhu, |
H. P. Lovecraft's big old hoodoo | We will worship Great Cthulhu, |
(1930's fiction voodoo....) | And we'll feed him Mr. Sulu |
But that's good enough for me! | 'Cause that's good enough for me! |
|
Let us sing to Lord Cthuhlu | We will sacrifice to Yuggoth |
Don't let Lovecraft try to fool yo | u We will sacrifice to Yuggoth |
Or the Elder Gods WILL rule you | Burn a candle for Yog-Soggoth |
And that's good enough for me! | And the Goat With a Thousand Young |
|
Of the Old Ones, none is vaster | Well it's good enough for * |
Even Cthulhu's not his master | He's a mighty kinky master |
I refer to the unspeakable * | When you pray he goes much faster |
and that's good enough for me! | And that's good enough for me! |
|
(* - well, do YOU waNT TO SAY IT) | |
|
And for those who follow Cthulhu | Let's go worship Great Cthulhu, |
We have really got a lulu: | And run naked like a Zulu, |
Drop a bomb on Honolulu! | You and me and Mr. Sulu, |
'Cause that's good enough for you! | And that's good enough for me! |
|
We will worship Great Cthulhu | We will worship Holy Cthulhu |
You and me and Mr. Sulu | And we'll run around like Zulus |
Howling like a drunken Zulu | Then we'll feed him Mr. Sulu, |
And that's good enough for me! | And that's good enough for me! |
|
It was good enough for Cthulhu | We will bow down to Cthulhu |
Who'd eat me and who'd eat you, too | o; We think he is quite a lulu |
If it's good enough for Cthulhu | He's not good enough for Zulus |
Then it's good enough for me | But he's good enough for me! |
|
|
DAO | |
|
All the Chinese pray to Yao | Next to Yao, they worship Yu |
For he showed the farmers hao | He built roads and bridges tu |
And there's bumper harvests nao | And canals - there's quite a few - |
Which is good enough for me! | And that's good enough for me! |
|

DEUS EX MACHINA | |
|
Gimme that database religion | I will learn to use SQL, |
Gimme that database religion | So my searches will all run well, |
Gimme that database religion | Though the learning curve can be hell, |
It's good enough for me... | It's good enough for me. |
|
I will stick with my flat-file, | CA-Clipper can compile |
Though it may be lacking style, | RDDs will make you smile |
Its ease-of-use makes me smile, | (though its queries take awhile) |
And that's good enough for me. | Still it's good enough for me! |
|
Oh, 4D it is a monster | We're all aware that FoxPro |
And can be slow as molasses | Runs in Windows and is not slow |
At least now it's with compiler | (and it's what my bosses bought) so |
But it was good enough for Guy! | It must be good enough for me. |
|
I will write my code for PICK now | And then Pr1me bought INFORMATION |
I will write my code for PICK now | So there was massive consternation |
And when I'm finished I will say W | OW! What understated observation -- |
And that's good enough for me... | Was not good enough for me! |
|
I use , not Lotus, I will organ | ize mine relationally, |
Though the market-share is bogus; | So it re-indexes sensationally -- |
Like that famous racing tortoise, | It's only useful occassionally, |
It is good enough for me. | But that's good enough for me. |
|
I'll print data from my floppy, | I used to perl my flat-file data; |
And I'll file the paper copy -- | I ran on Unix, so I hadda, |
It keeps my secretary happy | Now I do it 'cuz it's fasta |
And that's good enough for me. | And that's good enough for me. |
|
We will keep on writing FOCUS | You may code your CRTFORMs |
Because Gerry came and woke us | They're not dash-CRTFORMs |
We will work our hocus-pocus | Just wait for MAINTAIN & WINFORMs |
And it's good enough for me. | They'll be good enough for me. |
|
It was good enough for Simon Fortran | an, I remember the P-Eight-Fifty |
Good enough for Simon Fortran, | With 2K you've got to be thrifty |
Good enough for Simon Fortran, | But the Instruction set's quite nifty |
And it's good enough for me. | And it's good enough for me |
|
You might think that I'm a yahoo, | I am getting one of those work- |
Hacking on my seven-oh-two, | Stations that are known as PERQ |
But it's good enough for Big Blue, | Even though there's the odd quirk |
And that's good enough for me. | It's good enough for me |
|
Now that wire-wrap we're routing | We're 'puter hackers who speak jargon |
Very soon we'll all be booting | And may play chess with good old Sargon |
Yeah Gimme that old time computing | Have ya got yer mountain boots on? |
It's good enough for me | (We'll go climbing soon, you see!) |
|
We will write our code in COBOL | |
DB2, FORTRAN, and SNOBOL | |
Wanna SPICE up that old low-ball? | |
They're all good enough for me! | |
|
DISCORDIANISM | |
|
Let us sing to old Discordia | Of Great Murphy much is spoken |
Cause it's sure she's never bored ya | ya For his Law shall not be broken |
And if she's good enough for ya | It's not pretty when he's woken |
Then she's good enough for me! | Things go wrong for you and me! |
|
If your rising sign is Aries | If your god of choice is Squat |
You'll be taken by the Fairies | Well then trendy, man, you're not! |
Meet the Buddah in Benares | But you'll get a parking spot! |
where he'll hit you with a pie! | And that's good enough for me! |
|
We will sing a verse for Eris | Let us do our thing for Eris |
(Golden apples for the fairest!) | Goddess of the discord there is |
Though she sometimes likes to scare us | e us Apple's golden, it's not ferrous |
But she's good enough for me! | And that's good enough for me! |
|
Let us praise the Holy Fool | And the brave Illuminatti |
For he's breaking all the rules | Can hail Eris in a body |
Holds you up to ridicule, | Tho we think they're rather dotty |
And that's good enough for me! | They're good enough for me! |
|
There are those who worship Eris | It was good enough for Eris |
There are those who worship Eris | We'd love to have her near us |
If you're one of them, you scare us | s! Her apple is the fairest |
So keep away from me! | And she's good enough for me! |
|
It was good for the goddess Eris | We all know the goddess Eris |
Who in anger would not spare us | She had an apple for the fairest |
Gave and apple for to snare us | But we've got to learn to share, is |
And that's good enough for me! | That good enough for you? |
|
We will praise the wily Trickster | We will howl with ol' Coyote |
Who of talents is a mixture | Pee on bushes, eat peyote |
And is famous as a prickster | Then we'll roast ol' Mendes' Goatie |
And that's good enough for me! | And that's wild enough for me! |
|
Say hosannas to "Bob" Dobbs | |
With space aliens he hobnobs | |
He's the patron saint of slobs | |
And that's good enough for me! | |
|
(THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR) | |
|
Oh, the dollar is our Saviour | There are those who scream and holler |
If we spend Her or we save Her | And get hot under the collar |
She controls all our behaviour | For their god, Almighty Dollar, |
There's not enough for me! | Who is good enough for me! |
|
Let us praise the Almighty Dollar | Oh the Dollar is the True God |
Let us praise the Almighty Dollar | Not the Sun God or the Moon God |
Tele-Evangelistic holler | 'Cause it's my God and it's your God |
And it's good enough for me! | And that's God enough for me! |
|
DRUIDS AND FAERIE | |
|
We will worship like the Druids, | In Pwyll's hall you will be welcome |
Drinking strange fermented fluids, | But he's not at home too often |
Running naked through the woo-ids, | Spends all his time in Annwyfn |
Coz that's good enough for me! | And that's good enough for me! |
|
I'll go get my golden sickle | We will worship like Zen Druids |
And I'll wear it where it tickles | In their non-existant wooids |
It ain't used for cuttin' pickles! | Don't try to think, just dooid! |
And it's good enough for me! | And it's good enough for me! |
|
We'll go riding with Arawn | That old wondrous faerie, Morgan |
In the dark before the dawn | Could appreciate an organ |
Wildest Hunt that we've been on! | Just as long as it was workin' |
But it's good enough for me! | And that's good enough for me! |
|
Now there was this wizard, Merlin, | There's this Druid who is Jewish |
Really kept the world a-twirlin' | He is nice and sometimes foolish |
'Til he got mixed up in girlin' | "Oy vey! You don't -look- Druish!" |
But he's good enough for me! | "Let's define our terms," says he! |
|
Wrap your sacrifice in wicker | Oh the Welsh gods, -you- announce 'em |
It will make the flames burn quicker | er Asking my gods to renounce 'em |
Tho the smell makes some folks sicker | ker But our gods, I can't pronounce 'em |
It's still good enough for me! | Being tongue-tied's not for me! |
|
When I hear the Ban-Sidhe wailing | When the Morrigu are riding |
Sure it sets my heart a-quailing | And the fell Trollwives are striding |
Death behind someone is trailing | I'm sure going into hiding! |
And I hope it isn't me! | 'Cause that battle's not for me! |
|
When the Wild Hunt fills the evening | ng We will visit with the Sidhe |
With a howling and a screaming | And we'll drink until we're giddy |
How the Lady's eyes are gleaming | Leave behind G. Gordon Liddy |
And that's where I wanna be! | And that's good enough for me! |
|
We will dance 'round with the Dus | We will play with the Pookah |
Tho he plays us fast and loose | It will aspect as a hookah |
He plays jokes on me and youse | Or a haunted pressure-cookah |
But he's good enough for me! | But that's good enough for me! |
|
If you like aggressive women | Said the Sidhe to their new war-duke |
Morrigan with tricks is brimmin' | "You must quell Balor, that fierce gook; |
Do you groove on S&M-in'? | "Just remember -- USE THE FORCE, LUGH! |
Then she's just the one for you! | "You'll be good enough for us!" |
|
|
EGYPTIAN | |
|
Let us sing the praise of Horus | When we all bowed down to Nuit |
As our fathers did before us | There was really nothin' to it |
We're the New Egyptian Chorus | (Alex Sanders made me do it...) |
And we sing in harmony! | But that's good enough for me! |
|
We will venerate Bubastis | We will pray with those Egyptians |
We will venerate Bubastis | Build pyramids to put our crypts in |

Let us all now worship Ra | We will all do praise to Horus |
And take care of our Ka | In an old Egyptian chorus |
We'll all sit round and go "Ah-h-h | If there's something in it for us |
Which is good enough for me! | Then it's good enough for me! |
|
Here's an invitation for us | We will venerate Bubastis |
All to go and worship Horus | Cause my cat walked up and ast us |
Doff your clothes and join the cho | rus (Now the cat box is DISASTROUS!) |
And that's good enough for me! | But it's good enough for me! |
|
It was good for old Osiris | We will worship old Osiris |
But what I want to inquire is: | As we sit and smoke papyrus |
Can you Xerox (tm) a papyrus? | We will prob'ly catch a virus |
And it's good enough for me! | But it's good enough for me! |
|
I prayed to mighty Isis | Let us not forget ol' Isis |
To relieve romantic crisis | She will help you thru your crisis |
Now I've got satyriaisis | 'N make your dreams glow brightest |
Which is good enough for me! | And that's good enough for me! |
|
We will go and worship Isis | We will bow down to Osiris |
Tho she won't help lower prices | At the blooming of the Iris |
We won't find someone as nice as | And he'll save us from the virus |
She - that's good enough for me! | Which is good enough for me! |
|
Oh you need no priests for Amon | There's the God who is a monkey |
He looks kindly upon laymen | His behaviour's kinda funky |
'Course he'd much rather lay women | And he makes a lousy bunkie |
And he's good enough for me! | But he's good enough for me! |
|
We will go and honor Isis | Let us worship Egyptian Min |
She will help us thru our crisis | Christians call our orgies "sin" |
'Cause she has no minor vices | But New Morality is 'in!' |
And that's good enough for me! | And that's good enough for me! |
|
We will go to worship Ammon | We will sing the praise of Ra |
He will send to end a famine | And of Ammon who goes "B-a-a-a!" |
Bagels, cream cheese and smoked sa | lmon And the Pharaoh's whole brou-ha-ha |
Which is good enough for me! | Which is good enough for me! |
|
It was good for Mother Hequet | We'll all be Egyptian mummies |
Who bought babes with lots of rack | et With bandages 'round our tummies |
It was good for Mother Hequet | And we'll stagger 'round like rummies |
And it's good enough for me! | And that's good enough for me! |
|
Thoth (or should we say Tehuti?) | |
Thinks that scholarship's our duty | |
Though he's more than somewhat snooty | |
That is good enough for me! | |
|
ELVIS | |
|
We will all worship Elvis, | We all worship good ol' Elvis, |
He's the one with the Pelvis, | Though he was kind of selfish, |
And some think he's still alive, which | hich, He could rock and grind his pelvis |
Is good enough for me! | And he's good enough for me! |
|
|
FICTIONAL GODS, DE | |
|
Here's to those who copy Conan | We will sing of Foul the Render, |
Here's to those who copy Conan | Who's got Drool Rockworm on a bender |
They're just Followers of Onan | In his cave in Kiril Threndor-- |
And that's good enough for me! | They're both too much for me! |
|
There are followers of Conan. | Of Lord Shardik you
